The New Renault Wind Prices and Specifications

Published 1 April 2010Staff

With its quick-folding roof, the new Renault Wind Coupe-Roadster is capable of taking the indifferent British climate in its stride all-year round. In just 12 seconds, the single-piece roof can be rotated through 180 degrees to let in the sun's rays, or more likely, to protect against more frequent downpours.

With the car's development handled by performance and handling experts, Renaultsport, plus fitment of the engine from the Twingo Renaultsport 133 on the 1.6-litre versions, buyers can be assured that the Renault Wind Coupe-Roadster will drive as good as it looks.

The chic new two-seater will be available to pre-order later in April in exclusive, range-topping 'Collection' limited edition guise, of which just 200 will find their way to the UK. Customer ordering for the rest of the range, Dynamique and Dynamique S, opens in May 2010, ahead of first deliveries in July 2010.

Two petrol engines are available, the fiery and flexible 133hp 16-valve 1.6 from Twingo Renaultsport, or the smooth and responsive 1.2 TCe 100.

In addition to the impressive equipment levels, several options should keep even the most comfort and technology-conscious buyers happy. For Renault Wind Dynamique models, these include 2x35W radio CD MP3 reader with Bluetooth and fingertip remote control (£300), multi-functional TunePoint (USB connection, £100) and climate control and auto lights and wipers (£300). For both Dynamique and Dynamique S, carbon heated and leather-faced seats are available, while the latter version also has the option of 'Camel' tan leather seats (£950). Metallic paint is available in black, blue, grey or red at £405.
